In all seriousness, what are you looking for? I.E. what's your use case? Hauling shit? Just not getting stuck? hauler?

Oh no he didn't!


Basically just not getting stuck. Although I still drive for work, I only ever transport coworkers. Honestly 4x4 probably isn't necessary (although it would open up hiking and winter road trip options), it's just that the S is too low. Can't sort out whether to just get some $3-4k beater or something new. The idea of a true beater doesn't sit well with me and it feels like I'm leaning toward going back to the world of car payments again.

I pointed out that nickname to one of our older single female VPs that owned one and she sold it shortly there after.

I do have to admit mine is a bit better than the newer imprezas, as mine has a LSD in the rear and most subarus don't

In fairness, the Lesbaru nickname primarily applies to the Forester/Outback family, not the WRX family.

Ohhhhhh. I honestly can't stand the subaru kids... I hung out in the forums for a bit and just didn't fit in, they are a bunch of douchebags. I guess I'm spoiled by s2ki I went to one scooby meet when I first bought her and hated it

She had the Forester and she sold it and bought a Ford Escape.
